Yi Wu, in the local Dai minority's dialect, means the Mountain of Snake and Beautiful Woman. The Yi Wu Shan area has been producing excellent teas since the Qing Dynasty. Tea made there has been collected as a tribute to the Imperial court used as a reward for Court officials, and given to visiting foreign dignitaries. Eventually, this tea became so popular that tea merchants started blending tea produced in neighboring areas to increase yield, which prompted local Yi Wu merchants to declare their teas as "zheng shan" or "authentic mountain" tea. Yi Wu tea is known for its full body texture and its sweet, long-lasting finish.
